Zhuangqiao railway station (simplified Chinese: 庄桥站; traditional Chinese: 莊橋站; pinyin: Zhuāngqiáo Zhàn) is a railway station on the Hangzhou–Ningbo high-speed railway located in Jiangbei District, Ningbo, Zhejiang, China.
Zhuangqiao railway station was originally constructed in 1912 as a station on Xiaoshan-Ningbo railway. [1] In 1938, to hinder the advance of Japanese forces, laborers dismantled the tracks of the Xiaoshan-Ningbo railway, which effectively stopped all train services at the station. [2]
The reconstruction of the railway began in 1953, and the station resumed operations in December 1955. Due to technical difficulties of building a bridge across Yao River at the time, Zhuangqiao railway station served as the temporary terminus of Xiaoshan-Ningbo railway from 1955 to 1957. After the completion of the bridge, the terminus shifted to Ningbo railway station. Gradually, Zhuangqiao railway station transitioned to handling only freight operations. [2]
In 2009, the construction of the Hangzhou–Ningbo high-speed railway upgraded the station to a high-speed rail facility. Passenger services resumed in July 2013 with high-speed rail operations. The station was designed with 2 platforms and 4 tracks, with plans for future expansion to 6 platforms and 8 tracks. Its 3,200-square-meter station building can accommodate up to 800 passengers. [1]
The station is served by Line 4 of Ningbo Rail Transit.
